Emma's Review of Keeper of The Lost Cities

Emma
Keeper of the Lost Cities


For my book talk I read the book Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon
Messenger. The book is fantasy fiction. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate
this book a ten because the author used a lot of description in his writing.
If I were to give a plot about this book, it would be very long since most
of the details that the author gave were very important to understand the
book. I would recommend this book to people that like fantasy and
adventure books. 
Keeper of the Lost Cities is about a girl named Sophie Foster. At the age
of 5 Sophie found out that she is a Telepath. A Telepath is someone that
can read other peoples minds. Sophie is now 12 years old.
 Sophie was living the average teenage life, but of course, being a
Telepath is not normal. Sophie kept her secret from everybody, even
her family. She had no friends, so Sophie always felt like an oddball.
Later Sophie found out that she was an elf. Probably not the kind of
elf that you are thinking. The elf that you are probably thinking has
pointy ears and are Santa’s helpers. But Sophie was a regular looking
human that could do magic and disappear mid-air. Elves can’t die for
thousands of years, but once they turn 70 they stop ageing. Sophie’s
life changed forever when she met an elf named Fitz at a museum.
Kids were screaming and both Fitz and Sophie were trying to cover
their ears to block out the noise. Fitz asked Sophie if she was a telepath,
and one thing led to another. Fitz takes Sophie to a place called the
Lost Cities, in another universe, where humans can not get to it. After
a day spent in the Lost City, the council gives Sophie a place to live
there. Sophie is required to live with two older elves named Grandy
and Edaline. You may be thinking, “so Sophie leaves her whole life
on Earth behind?” Sophie leaves without a hesitation, since she never
really felt like she fit in. 
After days and days of getting to know the Lost City, Sophie is ready to
go to school. Sophie didn’t start out too well in school either though,
because eventually Sophie gets on the teacher's bad sides. Sophie
is not a bad kid just a misunderstood kid , she used to have a hard
time fighting in with all the other humans , so she thinks that if she
changes her personality she would be likeable. Sophie has a big
midterm test which puts a lot of pressure on her and her friends to
see if they get to stay in the academy. They all get just the right
amount to be able to stay there. After she finally starts fitting in,
she starts being able to do things that no other elf can do like locait
stars that are forbidden to all. Sophie did not know it was illegal to
locate that star, She gets caught . So she goes to the council and
is found not guilty.She realizes that someone set her up finding the
stars. After digging through information she finds out something that
is so life changing she finds out that she is part moon lark and bad
elves  planted information in her brain, everyone wants this information
some might ever kill for ……..
Is Sophie really an elf or is she one with moonlark?
